Finance majors study financial management and emerging trends in the finance field. Students are exposed to the theory and practice in corporate finance, financial institutions, investments, international finance, speculative markets, insurance, real estate and other related areas. The finance major introduces students to the important concepts necessary to gain the managerial skills and analytical tools necessary for managing portfolios, analyzing security investments, providing funds for a business, and controlling and planning the flow of funds within an enterprise. The BSBA in Finance requires completion of a minimum of 21 credit hours in finance. A cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 in the finance major and a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 overall must be maintained to graduate. Students may choose to specialize in one of four concentration areas; Investments, Corporate Finance, Financial Institutions, or Financial Planning.
